READ CURVE DATA

This function enables the user to import an existing curve’s data into the eta/DYNAFORM database.

Figure 13.14.9  Open Curve File Window

 

NOTE:      There are three different curve formats supported by eta/DYNAFORM; i.e, all three curve formats can be imported into eta/DYNAFORM.

The dialog box is shown in Figure 13.14.9.  eta/DYNAFORM lists all curve data files with the suffix “.cur” in the FILES field.  The user may also read other curve data files by entering the file names.
